2024
Script Contest! We are offering free one-page feedback with every submission this year to encourage more of you to write. We have opened submissions, but we don't know if the date will be definite with everything going on. Most likely November for Native American Month. Tribal Film Festival seeks Indigenous films from around the world. We host 1 to 4 LIVE screenings per year. TFF plays an important part in pushing for the accessibility of Indigenous films with inspiring and uplifting stories that entertain and educate. Indigenous films only!
One day of screenings in Tahlequah, but three other events in Tulsa during the year. Please be open to being selected to these.
SHORTS are great! Our audience loves shorts.
We know that, as filmmakers, we have an unlimited amount of stories to tell and to preserve. Therefore we have partnered with TribalTV for super-distribution and to extend our reach globally.
***We only screen films submitted through FilmFreeway, or Festival Focus, no credits or waivers or favors, nor do we pay for films to be screened. No refunds. That is not fair to the filmmakers/producers who submit. This levels the playing field for anyone and everyone. Every submission gets viewed. Every script gets read by professional readers in the industry. The exception to this rule are films co-produced by TribalTV, Tribal film Festival filmmaking Bootcamp or films that come from our affiliates or partners. Still- we do not pay for films, simply we do not have the budget for that :/ Thank you for understanding.
Script contest again this year. ALL genre categories do not have to be indigenous. We are looking for great stories/scripts. Winner gets a filmed table read, live Facebook feed. Submissions are open now.
